Over the decades\, it has crowned legends such as Steffi Graf (1997)\, Maria Sharapova (2010)\, and Lindsay Davenport (1995\, 1996). \n\n\n\n\n2025 Singles Champion: Elena Rybakina defeated Liudmila Samsonova in a hard-fought three-set final (6–1\, 6–7\, 6–1).\n\n\n\n2025 Doubles Champions: Tímea Babos and Luisa Stefani.\n\n\n\nRole as a Bellwether: In 2021\, Barbora Krejčíková won Strasbourg and immediately went on to win the French Open\, proving the tournament’s status as the ultimate Roland-Garros preparation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrize Money and Ranking Points\n\n\n\nAs a WTA 500 event\, the tournament offers substantial rewards that attract top-tier talent. While official 2026 breakdowns can vary slightly\, based on the $1\,206\,446 total commitment\, the rewards are expected as follows: \n\n\n\nRoundPrize Money (Estimated)WTA Ranking PointsWinner~$185\,000500Finalist~$114\,500325Semifinalist~$61\,500195Quarterfinalist~$37\,400108Round of 16~$21\,70060First Round~$11\,1501\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Watch (USA & Global)\n\n\n\nFor fans in the United States\, the exclusive home for the Internationaux de Strasbourg is the Tennis Channel. Coverage typically begins with the main draw matches on Sunday and continues through the live broadcast of the singles final on Saturday afternoon (Strasbourg time). International viewers can often follow the action via WTA TV. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFan Guide: Getting to the Venue\n\n\n\nThe Internationaux de Strasbourg is recognized as France’s first major “eco-responsible” sporting event. Fans are encouraged to use green transportation methods to reach the Tennis Club de Strasbourg. \n\n\n\n\nTramway: Take Line E to the “Parlement Européen” stop\, located only 100 meters from the site.\n\n\n\nElectric Bus: Use Line H to the same stop.\n\n\n\nPark & Ride (P+R): Drivers can park at Robertsau Boecklin or Rives de l’Aar lots; a valid parking ticket often includes a free tram transfer.\n\n\n\nCycling: A dedicated bike parking area for up to 100 bikes is available at the site entrance.\n\n\n\nCar-Sharing: Free “Purple Parking” is available for vehicles with at least three occupants at Boulevard Pierre Pflimlin.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy It Matters: The 40th Edition\n\n\n\nThe 2026 event is more than just a tournament; it is a celebration of 40 years of women’s tennis in Alsace. With themed days like Kid’s Day (May 20) and Women’s Day (May 21)\, the event fosters a community atmosphere that sets it apart from more corporate tournaments. For the players\, the combination of high-altitude clay performance and the intimate setting of the Tennis Club de Strasbourg makes it a favorite stop on the tour. \n\n\n\nWhether you are watching from the Patrice Dominguez court or tuning in from the USA\, the #IS26 promises to be a defining moment of the 2026 clay season.
